BILL NUMBER:S4717 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to the employment and supervision of physician assistants PURPOSE: To increase the number of physician assistants that may be supervised by a particular physician at any one time. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill amends Education Law § 6542 to clarify that four physician assistants (PAs) may be supervised by a particular physician at any one time in his or her private practice and that six PAs may be supervised at any time by a physician in a correctional facility. JUSTIFICATION: Serious primary care shortages can be lessened to a significant degree by increasing the number of physician assistants providing primary care. Studies consistently document that access to high quality primary care improves health status and decreases the need for invasive and costly interventions. In addition, New York will have a significant increase in the number persons seeking primary care as a result of increased health coverage under the federal Affordable Care
